By PetMD Editorial October 04, 2017 at 02:18PM

In the inaugural episode of petMD's new podcast, Life With Pets, host Victoria Schade interviews cat behavior and cognition researcher Kristyn Vitale about the best ways to motivate and train cats to do a variety of fun tricks, and tells a story about her junior cat trainers who used a surprisingly successful training technique. Then, comedian and host of the My Two Cents podcast Bill Engvall stops by to chat about his canine crew, including his super clever dog, Jake the Aussie. Next, Victoria answers a listener question about whether clicker training can derail the puppy training process, and closes the episode with a canine cognition test you can try on your own furry best friend.
